Santa's Workshop


This English book was published by Collins in 1934, and was based on the Silly Symphony of the same title. The book numbers some 128 pages and contains 8 gorgeous color plates.

To see another Silly Symphony Santa Claus related post from two years ago, please click on this link.


Notice in the above illustration that Santa has stamped the bottoms of the dolls on the shelves with "NG" for "No Good." If the dolls followed Santa's prompt and said, "Mamma," they passed. If not, they were rejected. I wonder if these toys eventually found their way to the Isle of Misfit Toys? Oh wait, that was another holiday classic.
